Punch Presses
Straight-side or C-frame hydraulic, mechanical, servo and pneumatic presses that produce parts by forming, drawing, trimming, blanking or piercing metal in sheet or coil form between the upper and lower halves of a die that creates the shape and size of the part in production quantities. Each press uses either a single- or double-slide (ram) connection depending on the part accuracy required. Straight-side presses have two sides and four to eight guideways for the slide to reduce deflection and handle off-center loads better. Most C-frame presses are manually operated and guide the slide using two V-guides or box guides. The open form of a C-frame press is subject to higher deflection under off-center loads.

To reduce wear and tool breakage when forming or blanking AHSS material, here are some tips on revisiting the type of tool steel used, the design of the tool itself, and whether or not adding a coating or surface finish will improve performance and provide longer tool life.
To prevent lower quality parts and frequent tool replacement, keep your punch press tooling sharp and well maintained to achieve the greatest number of hits possible for the best possible return on your investment.
Hydraulic press technology and other advances in stamping presses, deep drawing operations, coil handling equipment, automation, press controls and monitoring are helping press rooms to deliver shorter runs of high-mix parts faster, more efficiently, and more profitably.
To meet the growing demands for smaller lots and varied applications, hydraulic press technology is faster and more reliable than ever to improve press room productivity and the bottom line.
As the North American representative of China’s oldest and largest hydraulic press manufacturer, Greenerd Press & Machine can configure a solution, often incorporating automation, for virtually any application.
LVD Strippit expands its Dyna-Press Series with the 40/15 Pro. The 40-ton press brake can be combined with an industrial robot to create an automatic Dyna-Cell bending cell.
LVD Strippit’s Dyna-Cell with Easy-Form Laser in-process adaptive bending system and programming wizard ensure the desired angle from the first bending operation. Together, the features facilitate automated bending at speeds up to 1 inch (25 mm) per second.
